The black expedition jolted up as the car hit a bump

"Jeez Doc, be careful." Sarge complained.

They had been driving for a while since the black rainbow and weren't exactly sure where they were going, maybe they were hoping to find a route to Newmerica. Doc smiled " Relax girly we just hit a bump." Sarge glared at Docs's nickname for her and could easily hear 10K laughing from the backseat.

"Yea girly, relax." he taunted laughing. Sarge looked back at him angry at first but then smiled. When he smiled she smiled she just couldn't help it.

They drove for a while until coming up to a small town, Doc then stopped in front of a bar "Home Sweet Home."

10K groaned "You always chose a bar, why can't we find refuge at a Burger King or something."

Doc laughed "Relax kid were just taking a quick pit stop, we need some alcohol for any future wounds and some rags would be nice too."

Sarge sighed kicking open her door and hopping out smelling the sort of fresh air. Doc got out and headed into the bar saying he would be back soon. 10K smiled and walked around the side of the vehicle smiling at Sarge. She looked back and chuckled "What are you looking at?"

10K came closer "Nothin." just before they could pull into a kiss they heard gunfire and bolted down using the open car door as cover.

"Seriously." Sarge mumbled

The gunfire got closer and then stopped. 10K and Sarge then slowly looked over the door only to be greeted by Doc standing at the front of the bar.

Doc started laughing "Warren?" 10K and Sarge saw what Doc was looking at, and to their surprise it was Warren herself surrounded by dead Zs all shot in the head. She looks up at them and smiles of relief. She wasn't much different besides her once blond hair now was back to her lovely brown color. Doc than walks up and hugs her tightly and Warren responds. Warren looks over at 10K and Sarge and makes her way over to them giving 10K and Sarge a hug and her usual you've grown up comment to 10K. Doc moves around the car and puts the bottle of alcohol in the trunk along with a few rags and a bottle opener. He then circles back to Warren and the others.

"Long time no see chief."

She smiles "I've missed you too guys."

10K smiled pointing to her hair "What happened to the blond?"

Warren pulled a piece of her hair in front of her face and examined it "It has a damn mind of it's own."

Sarge laughed "Don't scare us like that again we had no idea if you were alive or what."

Warren glanced back at Sarge "Do you guys even know what the black rainbow even did?"

10K shrugged "We've heard a lot of rumors but the way I see it not much has changed."

Warren nodded and looked around her past 10K and the others she frowned and became worried "Where's Murphy? Did he..." She paused hating the idea of even suggesting it, her and Murphy had a, well, they had something and she missed it. Someone once told her you don't know your home until you miss it once you leave that's how Murphy made her feel, it was strange she didn't want or know why she felt that way but she did.

Doc looked at the ground "Um... well, no but." He paused "Come here. We should get a move on anyway." Warren followed Doc as he led her back to the car he opened the door and 10K and Sarge got into the front seats. The inside was really large there was a front seat and a passenger seat but in the back it resembled more of an RV than the actual expedition it was. It had slide out doors and all 3 of the seats were up in the very back but all the middle row the seats were down and there was a white blanket covering the floor. In the very back Murphy laid on the seats sleeping.

Warren rolled her eyes relived as she got in and sat on the blanketed floor. "Of course he's sleeping."

Doc got in to and sat next to her "Well he is but... He's really sick."

Warren looked at him concerned "How d-did he get hurt or the flu?"

Doc signaled for 10K to start up the car and started going through his medical bag "Well I don't know what it is, We believed it might have came from the black rainbow. He has been unconscious for a few days now though, and..." He paused and looked up at Warren "I don't think he's going to get better." he pulled out a small temperature device and scanned it over Murphy's head it beeped and he pulled it back "Right now he has a temperature of 104, that's not good. " He frowned "He originally started complaining a week ago, but you know it's Murphy. But than he passed out a few days ago and he's temperature has just been getting worse since."

Warren then became very solemn "What can we do?"

Doc shrugged "Well giving antibiotics didn't work the first or second time, I mean we could try it again, but were out and I don't know Warren this is unlike anything I've ever seen before, I'm not sure it would work."

Warren looked around "Do you got a map?"

Doc turned around and pulled out a wide map from the side holders of the car door, he handed it to her and chuckled "Just be delicate she's been through a lot."

Warren smiled and opened the map laying it across the floor as she studied it for a minute. "There." she stated pointing at the map "We need to go there, that hospital should have medicine for Murphy and hopefully supplies."

Doc glanced at the map unsure before looking back at Warren "Whatever you say chief, but that's at least 120 miles and were almost out of gas."

Warren sat up and brought the map to 10K giving him directions on where to go. She then moved into the back seat sitting next to Doc and smiled "Well make it."

The car started moving and Warren scooted to the very back of the car sitting on the ground by the seats where Murphy slept. She glanced up at him, he'll be ok she assured herself. There was no room for doubt.
